Occupation Writer, Illustrator, Educator
Location East Sussex, United Kingdom
Introduction Born and bred in East Sussex, I spent the first decades of my adult life travelling through Spain, Morocco, the Netherlands and Russia, with a long sojourn in the United States. I have worn many hats over the years but writing and art have always been my means of understanding and celebrating the world. Life is a constant process of unravelling and discovery and change. Sometimes, unexpectedly, you circle back to the place where you set out from. That’s where I am right now: writing, wondering, and walking through the woods of my childhood.
